Hello, Argo!
As the title of this thread suggests we've created an official Argo discord server! As of this post the server is live. Join instructions will come near the end of the announcement.
This announcement signals a drastic policy change. Previously, staff was not in favor of sanctioning a third party server. However, we're acutely aware that with time comes change, and that doesn't have to be a negative correlation. We've added some functionality to the server that addresses several concerns we've had in the past. This mitigates several of the larger concerns we had with opening a discord server. Additionally, the popularity of services like discord has increased exponentially. All of this has culminated in the decision to create our server.
The server's rooms mirror the in-game channels with a few additions, and the normal Argo rules apply. For example, the ArgoRecruiting channel is restricted to staff, senior members, and potential/current applicants. There are also some discord specific courtesies and rules, and they are outlined in their respective channels. In general; don't abuse the @tag system and don't pressure anyone to join voice who isn't comfortable. Please keep your fleet-mates in mind while talking in voice, some people may not be comfortable with words and topics beyond PG-13. When in doubt, follow the PG-13 rule.
Joining the server is, and will remain, optional.
A quick note in closing...the eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that we've renamed both the Admin and Moderator ranks to Staff to reflect some internal reorganization. This change doesn't affect your day to day, just some behind the scenes items.
As always, please get in touch with a staff member if you have any questions!
